This week's sign that End Times are nigh*. Word is out that Rush Limbaugh might want to buy the St. Louis Rams, which has been as polarizing as everything else about him. And:
Keith Olbermann of MSNBC defended Limbaugh's right to buy the Rams. And Olbermann made the critics of Limbaugh on this point entry No. 3 on Olbermann's nightly "Worst Persons in the World" segment of Countdown.
It's nice to have a clean, orderly ciy, but this seems to be going overboard:
KOKOMO, Ind. — Snow routes are no more in a central Indiana city as crews are removing the signs as part of a battle against clutter.
Gov. Daniels recently spoke against "rockheaded, misguided" climate change legislation, eliciting a strange response from The Journal Gazette. Daniels said such legislation would devastate the Hoosier economy. That attitude, the JG said, shows a lack of faith in Hoosiers:
Congratulations to Indiana University's Elinor Ostrom, one of the co-recipients of this year's Nobel Ptize in Economics, along with University of California professor Oliver Williamson:

On Tuesday here, I lamented the federal government's blackmail of Indiana over billboard issues. If you think that's too anti-government, you can go to The Journal Gazette's editorial page for the pro-blackmail view:
Demuth said his challenge now is coming up with $2.5 million to update the inventory.
They seem to be having trouble in Indianapolis balancing the humane treatment and public safety parts of their animal control department. Facing accusations of animal cruelty, the animal shelter hired Douglas Rae as the new director, who ended the policy of automatically killing pit bulls and set a goal to cut the euthanization rate from 60 percent to 20 percent.
The Allen County Commissioners don't want a casino in Fort Wayne. But if one does come, they want the entire county to get its say - and, presumably, its cut.
It's a chicken-or-the-egg thing:
In my view, Scalia is half-right. We are indeed devoting more of our “best minds” to law than we ideally should; perhaps more of our merely average minds too. But the high salaries of lawyers suggest that there is a genuine demand out there for all that lawyering. Quite simply, we need a lot of lawyers because we have a lot of laws.
